And rock gave way. I seen a bone. He knew it was human right away, part a skull and jawbone with teeth. The jawbone was intact with the teeth and then you could see the shoulder blade and the spinal cord, you could see how he was laying. Eric called his boss and they called police, this is a snapshot of police removing the skull from the hole. We may never know who it was or how they died. The remains were about five feet down to the river rock level, not the kind of shallow grave a killer would dig but the body appeared to have been dumped in the hole. Eric says the bones had clearly been there a long time. They started disintegrating almost as soon as they were exposed. The house was built in 1900 but the skeleton could have been there long before that. Eric was not spooked. No, it doesnt bother me. Perfect for halloween. He is sorry it wasnt a river pirate buried with his treasure. Eric and his coworkers are approaching the job a bit differently now. That was david henry reporting.
